2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

2ND WINDOW REGULATOR ON MY 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITHIN 3 MOS THAT HAS STOPPED WORKING. AFTER CALLING SEVERAL LOCAL PARTS STORES IN THE AREA, I WAS TOLD BY MOST OF THEM THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP. I ALSO LEARNED THAT THE PART CAN ONLY BE PURCHASED BY JEEP DIRECTLY. I CALLED JEEP TO FIND OUT IF THE PART HAS BEEN RECALLED, NONE AVAILABLE. THIS PART ALONE IS $300, WITH LABOR THE REPAIR IS $459. MY VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 66,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE BLOWING COLD AIR. I HAD THIS LOOKED BY THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE HVAC SUB ASSEMBLIES. THEY QUOTED ME $1000 TO HAVE THIS FIXED. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ONLINE, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR 2002 (PLUS OTHER MODEL YEARS) JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES. *JB

ON MY 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED COLD AIR BLOWS FROM ONE SIDE OF THE DASH EVEN WHEN I HAVE THE HEAT TURNED ON. THE JEEP DEALER TOLD ME THAT I HAVE A BLEND DOOR FAILURE AND THE REPAIR WILL COST ABOUT 1200 DOLLARS. *JB *JB

I OWN A 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED. LATE WINTER, WHEN I NEEDED IT THE MOST, MY HEAT BEGAN NOT WORKING ONLY ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE PASSENGER SIDE HAD PLENTY OF HEAT THOUGH. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND AFTER A $1100 REPAIR BILL TO REPAIR THE BLEND DOORS INSIDE THE AC SYSTEM (MOSTLY LABOR), IT WAS REPAIRED. TODAY, AGAIN, I HAVE NO HEAT AND NOW NO AC TOO. A DIAGNOSIS NOW SAYS THAT I HAVE A CODE FOR "TRAVEL TOO LARGE"-THIS IS THE CODE FOR THE BLEND DOORS AGAIN. AFTER AN INTERNET SEARCH, I SEE THAT THERE ARE MANY, MANY OTHERS LIKE ME WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS IN THE WINTER, THERE IS NO WAY TO CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD WITH THE COLD AIR. DAILMER CHRYSLER NEEDS TO DO THE RIGHT THING HERE AND STOP PROFITING FROM THEIR OWN DEFECTS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL TO REPAIR ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL AND STEERING WHEEL PULSATED WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE ROTORS WERE PREVIOUSLY REGROUNDED AT THE DEALER, HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,131 AND CURRENT MILEAGE IS 32,899. UPDATED 01-15-08. *KB UPDATED 12/12/07. *JB

BLEND DOOR ON MY 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED INITIALLY STOPPED AT THAT POINT AND ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR TO THE PASSENGER. NOW A YEAR LATER I HAVE NO HEAT AT ALL. DISAPPOINTED FOR SURE AND FROM THE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM, SEEMS TO BE DEFECTIVE FROM THE START. A RECALL SHOULD BE CALLED. 1500-1800 TO FIX ON A CAR WITH LESS THAT 43,000 MILES, GIVE ME A BREAK, NO WONDER MORE PEOPLE ARE BUYING JAPANESE. *JB

TURN SIGNAL FAILURE ON MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE TURN SIGNALS FAILED ON MY JEEP ON JULY 15, 2007 DUE TO A FAULTY FLASHER ON MY CAR. THE CAR HAD 68,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. THE PART THAT FAILED IS PART NUMBER 4686094 AND IT IS FAILING ALL OVER CHRYSLER'S VEHICLES WHEN YOU SEARCH THE INTERNET. AS THE TURN SIGNALS ARE A SAFETY FEATURE ON THE CAR AND MANDATORY TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE THIS ITEM SHOULD BE RECALLED. ONCE THE PART WAS REPLACED, MY TURN SIGNALS WORKED FINE. THE REPAIR WAS $55.47 IN PARTS. THE VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND NO ACCIDENTS. *TR

THE CLOCKSPRING ON MY 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS FAILED AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND IT WILL NOT FUNCTION. NO ACCIDENT YET, BUT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT WORK ON THE VEHICLE. CAR WAS DRIVEN NORMALLY AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH NO ACCIDENTS. HAS 69,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE CLOCKSPRING HAS TO BE REPLACED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. CHRYSLER HAS HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS ON OTHER VEHICLES FOR THIS SAME PART. I'M SURE THEY USE THIS PART ON OTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCTS. *TR

2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LTD WITH DUAL ZONE CILMATE CONTROL SYSTEM. AT 50,000 MILES THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAT AND DEFROSTER STOPPED WORKING. NOW IN AT 60,000 MILES THE DRIVER SIDE HEATER HAS ALSO FAILED. PER A WEB SITE IT IS A VERY COMMON OCCURANCE WITH THIS VEHICAL.

WINDOW REGULATOR IN PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WENT OUT. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. IT IS A 2002. THE FIRST WAS ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO WHEN THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED WITH THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. THESE HAVE EACH COST ME 300 DOLLARS. THE PART IS FAULTY AND JEEP OWNERS SHOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR HAVING TO PAY FOR POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP ON THE PART OF JEEP.
